A Song For Riley Robertson Lyrics

Go out and scrape your knees

Bleed on the ground till it starts to look like rust

And I'll l dress your wounds

Even the ones that aren't new

Does God look both ways

When he's crossing the street

When I'm lying there, dead on the fucking concrete

Existing without feeling

Watching without seeing

Rummage around

I almost found

the parts of me that made the sound

The ones I hate I'll try to take them down with me into the ground

To my coffin they'll be bound

Never seen

Safe and sound

I won't let

anything haunt me after this life

Hold despair and throw it away

I promise to walk through everyday

With confidence, a brave idiot

There's things I want to say

But even more I'd never show

Could you

Would you

Call this

A lovely life

Pain and

Burning lights

And wanting things from people

That don't want to give them to me

I think that's right

Agony in harmony

to the life I will live purposely

I'll take every swing

Right on the chin

Smile through a toothless grin

Preaching loudly

You can't hurt me

You can't hurt me

You can't hurt me

To the congregation of grief

Instruments to whatever composition we choose

The song in me is the song in you

Linked in arms

our endless chant

Lungs on fire with our beloved tongue

Safe behind our teeth

Safe behind our teeth
